Sales Executive

Job Description

The Sales Executive supports Shangri-La’s hotel sales strategy by identifying potential clients, maintaining relationships with corporate and leisure accounts, responding to enquiries, arranging site visits, preparing proposals, and helping achieve revenue targets. Candidates typically need a diploma or degree in hospitality, business, marketing, or a related field, along with relevant hotel or sales experience. Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, organisational, and customer-service skills are expected. Fluency in English is important, while Cantonese and Mandarin are valuable for the Hong Kong market. The successful candidate should be proactive, commercially minded, well presented, comfortable meeting clients, and able to work independently while collaborating with hotel departments.

Destination Guide

Hong Kong offers strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, retail, finance, technology, and international business. Sales professionals can find roles in hotels, convention venues, restaurants, travel companies, and luxury retail, although competition is high and networking is valuable. Cantonese is useful for local business, while English is widely used professionally and Mandarin is increasingly helpful. The lifestyle is energetic, safe, and highly connected, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, hiking, beaches, and a vibrant arts scene. Housing is expensive, particularly near major business districts, so many newcomers begin in shared accommodation or areas with convenient rail access. Most overseas employees require an employment visa, normally sponsored by the employer and supported by qualifications, experience, and a confirmed job offer. Applicants should check current Immigration Department rules and arrange medical, banking, accommodation, and insurance matters before relocating.
